Veterans Treatment Courts ensure that when our veterans return home and are struggling with the transition home and get into trouble with the law because of a mental-health disorder, a substance abuse disorder and/or trauma, they receive the structure, the treatment, and the mentoring they need to get their lives back on track.
One in five veterans has symptoms of a mental health disorder - or cognitive Impairment and research shows a link between combat-related mental illness and substance abuse.
